If you used Auto Top-up, you wouldn't have that problem. Perhaps. I received a small post journey credit on a couple of Oyster cards that apparently exceeded the daily cap one day. I nominated Edgware station thinking I'd be back there soon, but haven't made it yet and haven't been concerned enough to change the nomination. |

Chip and pin arrives - there being a damn good reason for the PIN - then the banks decide they'll get more transactions if they remove the PIN and pretend its not really needed after all. So why do I need one if I put the card in the slot but not if I use contactless? What exactly is the qualitative difference? Answer: there isn't one. But the banks have convinced suckers theres no security risk with contactless. Ah well, you can't educate pork. Must be a field day for card thieves. -- Spud |
